Ah... Last time I looked at bootstrap.org (admittedly quite a long time
ago), they didn't seem to be active. Sounds like I should at least
introduce myself and ThoughtStream to them - what forum would be most
appropriate for this?

Yeah, Netscape is almost dead, but Mozilla's not quite stable enough to
take it's place yet (I've tried using M16 as my primary browser, but it
tends to corrupt something in the ~/.mozilla directory every few days,
forcing you to delete all your settings), nor does it support Java. I
probably have been too quick to blame Java for some of Netscape's
problems, since that's the only time I really see it (except for the toy
programs I had to write for my data structures class last semester -
they worked fine (using the sun jdk), although they weren't doing
anything fancy).
